Re: Purdue 2011-2012 Athletics thread

Hammons had some quotes a couple days ago, think in the Journal Courier, said he wanted to go somewhere that'd push him, direct quote. Talk's cheap, but gotta love the attitude and recognizing a weakness.

Re: Purdue 2011-2012 Athletics thread

Happy to see that Hammons is coming in with that mindset.

As far as Willis I saw this guy play in person, Kid is bad, like Big Ten player of the year potential type bad, I would love for him to come to Purdue. He would be the best recruit that Purdue has picked up in the Painter error. He impressed me more than Gary Harris.

Re: Purdue 2011-2012 Athletics thread

At this point I'd be shocked if Harris doesn't go to Kentucky as well. Peegs hinted on the IU forums, that while Gary's parents seem to like the idea of IU, PU, or MSU better that Gary is seriously buying into the one and done promise from UK.

He won't be one and done, personally I think he has too much to work on to make that jump after his first year, possibly second. But again I would take all this stuff that you hear from these people knowing direct information about what a player is thinking with a couple grains of salt...

Yeah I tend to agree as well.

I'm not even sure Calipari really has to cheat for these guys anymore. That makes me sad.

I think you guys are a little bit in denial about Harris. If he was gonna stay in state he would have done it by now.

Also, Peegs has nailed pretty much everything else so far about the 2012 class.

I thought that as well about the instate comment, but I could only see that for Purdue, I think I realized that fact that I was in denial that he if Purdue was the choice he would have went there by now. I think a lot of this has to do with the parents as well. Teaching your child to look at all of his options before he makes his final decision and I think that is what he will do. The thing with recruits is that there are so many factors that scouts will never have any knowledge of. With a kid making a decision I think it is often either something they have been thinking about forever or one of those clarity moments.

I guess I am kind of happy now that Purdue gets commitments from most of its players pretty early, so I do not have to typically be involved in the will he come to our school stuff. Just from this year alone I am kind of getting wore out on it, lol.
